Just helped my son purchase a certified 2011 Mini Cooper, 6 speed, Winter package, Spice Orange Metallic. We have been Volvo,VW,Audi and Porsche drivers, but are very impressed with the Mini. It was a great moment as a parent to help my son buy the car and then see the huge smile on his face as we left the dealership. We were originally looking at Mazda 3's and a 2013 VW Beetle, but one Sunday evening at CarSense we saw a Mini and I said check this out. It turned out they had forgotten to lock it. After sitting in it we figured it was well worth test driving and after he drove it the following evening he was hooked. We then found out it was a repo and it had about 10K miles more than the CarFax. I suggested we look elsewhere and that's when we found the 2011 Spice Orange at Mini of Allentown. Certified with a full service history, one owner and after some negotiating the same price as the CarSense. Being a former college student his credit is compromised, but we managed to get him set up with a decent loan.
I am hoping to learn from this site and contribute in the future.
